In this section of the resource you will find a number of case histories of patients whose HIV infection was diagnosed (or missed) by dermatovenereologists. They are designed as an aid to learning and provide an opportunity for you to reflect on how you would manage each case.
The case histories will help you consolidate your learning from the other sections of the resource. They can also be used as presentations to share with colleagues or students in educational sessions with hospital colleagues, as a ‘case of the week’ or in small group teaching.
